Driving License without NOC


The rule came into effect last week across the UAE, making it easier for all, especially those in the low income group to learn to drive and enhance their chances of employment in the country. 

Earlier, only people from 66 select professional categories were allowed to open a file for driving lessons without obtaining an NOC from their employers. Low income group workers such as waiters, domestic helps, shop salespersons and blue collar workers and some others were not allowed to start taking driving lessons without obtaining a permission from their employers. Now the new rule has ensured equal opportunities for all. 

Following the federal decision, Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued a circular to driving schools in Dubai informing them about the new regulation. 

“This is a very positive step because it will make it easier for all those who want to obtain driving licenses to open a file at any driving institute” said Fatima Raees, director of Customer Service and Marketing, at Emirates Driving Institute (EDI) in Dubai. 

Required documents only now: 
Copies of passport and residence visa pages. 
Copy and original Emirates ID card. 
Two photographs. 
Eye-test report.
